A Practical Guide to Setting Up Your Business
Turns out, there’s a lot more to setting up a business than most people realise.
And whether you’re thinking about starting one or already have one, it can be hard to know where to start - or what you might be missing. Because how do you know what you don’t know?
There are plenty of “how to start a business” checklists out there. But knowing what needs to be done and knowing how to go about doing it are two very different things.
Written for businesses operating in Australia, this guide breaks the business set-up process into 10 stages - explaining what you need to know, what you need to think about and how to actually get it done.
What's covered
This guide covers everything from what your business will cost to run, what it needs to earn and whether the numbers stack up, through to the systems and processes you’ll need to keep it running day to day, as well as the roles and responsibilities involved.
We’ll also suggest worksheets along the way to help you work through the numbers, decisions and questions that come up.
While having everything laid out in a guide is one thing, sometimes you just want to talk things over with an actual person, so your guide also includes a 20-minute 1:1.
Use it to ask questions about anything in the guide, talk through any of the topics covered or simply bounce a few thoughts around.
Here’s how it’s structured:
1. Why Do You Want to Start This Business?
2. Understand Your Current Commitments
3. Understand the Numbers
4. What You Need to Do to Set Up Your Business
5. How to Create Your Business Processes
6. How to Build Your Brand and Online Presence
7. Roles and Responsibilities
8. Discuss Your Business with an Accountant
9. Complete Your Business Set-Up
10. Your Business Is Open. Now what?
Around 90 pages. One downloadable PDF. Plus a 20-minute 1:1. $375.
Choose the version that suits you.
One hell of a lot cheaper than figuring it all out as you go.
